10.6Which third-party service providers process my personal information?

"Third parties" includes third-party service providers (including contractors and designated agents) and other entities within our group.

10.7How secure is my information with third-party service providers and other entities in the Collas Crill group?

We will transfer the personal information we collect about you to the following countries outside the EU:

10.9.1Cayman

10.9.2BVI

10.9.3Jersey

in order to perform our contract with you. There is not an adequacy decision by the European Commission in respect of all of those countries. This means that some countries to which we transfer your data are not deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for your personal information.

However, to ensure that your personal information does receive an adequate level of protection we have put in place internal policies and contracts in line with international standards to ensure that your personal information is treated by those third parties in a way that is consistent with and which respects the applicable laws on data protection. If you require further information about these protective measures, you can request it from your Local Information Officer.

11Data security

11.2Third parties will only process your personal information on our instructions and where they have agreed to treat the information confidentially and to keep it secure.

11.3We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal information on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

11.4We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.

12Data retention

12.1We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Retention periods for your personal information are decided by considering the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. This will vary depending upon the relationship we have with you.

12.2In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal information so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case we may use such information without further notice to you.

12.3If you have any questions regarding data retention please speak to your Local Information Officer.

13Cookies

We use "cookies" on our website, these are small pieces of data that allow us to track which computers visit our website and how. To find out how, please review our cookie policy here.

14Rights of access, correction, erasure, and restriction

14.1Your duty to inform us of changes

It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal information changes during your relationship with us.

14.2Your rights in connection with personal information

14.3Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:

14.3.1Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

14.3.2Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.

14.3.3Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).

14.3.4Object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes.

14.3.5Request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal information about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.

14.3.6Request the transfer of your personal information to another party.

14.4If you want to review, verify, correct or request erasure of your personal information, object to the processing of your personal data, or request that we transfer a copy of your personal information to another party, please contact your Local Information Officer in writing.

14.5No fee usually required

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is clearly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.

14.6What we may need from you

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is another appropriate security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.

15Changes to this privacy notice

We reserve the right to update this privacy notice at any time, and we will provide you with a new privacy notice when we make any substantial updates. We may also notify you in other ways from time to time about the processing of your personal information.
